Description
46593 Extra Long CNC 2D and 3D Carving Flat Bottom 0.10 Deg Straight Angle x 1/2 Dia x 1 x 1/2 Shank x 6 Inch Long x 3 Flute Solid Carbide ZrN Coated Reduced Shank Router Bit
Specially designed for 2D and 3D CNC profiling and carving in plastic, aluminum & wood with CNC machines. The high-shear flat bottom tips cut smooth 2D and 3D contours with reduced stepping while the proprietary ZrN coating (applied by the physical vapor deposition coating process) provides high resistance to wear, sharper cutting edges, extended tool life, and less friction and heat buildup. Some Amana Tool carving tools, as you can appreciate have a very small diameter therefore any material chip-loads need to reflect that small size. It can however withstand RPMs up to 60,000 RPMs. A directed air-blast to keep chips away along with cooling the tool and workpiece is always welcome.
Tools are manufactured with a high balance that allows them to run up to 60,000 RPMs. Adjust your chip load and feed rate accordingly.
*A soft plastic cardboard made with super soft, super flexible PVC.
**Expanded polypropylene (EPP) is a foam form of polypropylene.
***Ethafoam, Polyethylene, and Polylam are durable, flexible, closed-cell foams with an excellent memory.
Milling Plastics:
In a milling application, all plastics tend to behave differently so attention must be paid first and foremost to heat input, as that greatly impacts surface finish and chip control.
